Remote Display Cabling
Your installation should also take into account the routing of Remote Dis-
play cabling. Ensure that distance and obstacles spanned by the routed
cable will not kink, pinch or stretch it. Also keep in mind you may need to
drill a hole through which to route it.
Placing and Installing the Remote Scale Display
Reference Figure 2-19 while performing these procedures.
1. Determine where you want to install the Remote Scale Display
based on your counter design, the viewing angle, lighting consider-
ations and cable routing discussed previously. Reference
Figure 2-
17 for the display’s physical dimensions. Optimally, the display(s)
should be approximately eye level to the viewer(s).
2. Use the template provided in Figure 2-20 to mark locations of the
mounting screw and cable routing holes. The mounting screw holes
are on 3-1/2” (85.1 mm) centers. The cable can either be routed
through a
3
/4” (19 mm) diameter hole directly under the mounting
base or through the cutout in the back of the base (see Figure 2-
19 ).
3. Drill the mounting screw holes using a drill bit of the appropriate
diameter for your mounting screws or bolts.
4. Drill the cable routing hole using a
3
/4” (19 mm) drill bit
(optional).
NOTE
The Remote Scale Display connector end may be secured with a rubber band
during shipping to prevent damage to the “locking tabs” (see
Figure 2-19 ).
After routing the cable, remove this rubber band before connecting. Failure to
remove the band will keep the connector from latching properly.
